A member asked:
Can i use a glycerin suppository if i have diverticulitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The glycerin will not impede recovery from an acute attack, and will not precipitate an attack in someone with stable diverticulosis.

Yes.: Yes, however eating properly, after the diverticulitis has resolved can prevent constipation and potentially reduce the recurrences.
